At least it's given the world a new alternative to 'a to-do list' in demonstrating new technologies/languages/etc. There are ones for various different gaming frameworks:

https://github.com/ellisonleao/clumsy-bird

The ZX-81: http://bobs-stuff.co.uk/quack.html

and so on. To my shame, I made a version that you play by flapping your arms:

Oh cool, I made something similar at PennApps this year. I made a Chrome extension that let you play a bunch of flappy bird clones by flapping your arms on webcam.

Flappy Arms, nice one, might be fun on Kinect as well. Flappy Bird has become an experimentational platform of its own.
